This is an ex-Noldo!

[tolkien_blond]

So: an elf. As far as he knows, he's never been here before; as far as he knows, he was a talking pile of ash scant minutes ago. As far as he knows, he's in the afterlife, and--

"This is -- really -- not what I was led to believe it was like."

Um. Hi! Angrod son of Finarfin, courtesy the Silmarillion, reintro'd and reset after, what, the better

"--Angaráto?" A hopeful, familiar voice calls as Findaráto appears around a corner. He pretty much lights up when he sees that it is who he thought it is. He immediately comes over to great the little brother properly. "It's good to see you, brother."

[tolkien_blond]

And Angrod, who was already a bit shaken (dying! It does that! Who knew?), only pales, even as he steps forward. "No, Ingoldo-- not you, too."

[hewer_of_caves]

He's visibly surprised by Angrod's reaction and puts his hands to his brother's shoulder and arm, confused but trying to be reassuring. "What's happened? Are you all right?"

[tolkien_blond]

"...No? No, not really." He rubs at his eyes with the heel of his palm, sighs. "Only I thought you'd got out."

Well - Lucivar recognizes the face, vaguely, and half smiles.

"Does this mean maybe I get to meet some of the family I've adopted now?"

[tolkien_blond]

He blinks. "That-- I'd imagine that depends on the family."

[eyrienprince]

"You could say I'm an adopted brother of the Ambarrussa."

A touch of a scowl. Because arrrgh. Worried.

[tolkien_blond]

"Them?" He boggles for a moment, sorry, you have a very confused elflord here. "Wait, which one?"

[pandora_antioch]

..."it never is." Quietly.

The woman speaking is in the room, sitting on a sofa, thoughtful. "But you are quite alive, I assure you."

[tolkien_blond]

"--Am I?" That would at least explain the whole having a body thing. "It didn't quite seem like it."

[pandora_antioch]

"Oh, you are," she says, reassuringly. "I can smell your life from here."

She smiles.

"There are many who come here, believing themselves dead, but I can tell who is, and who is not."

[tolkien_blond]

That's only a little creepy! "I don't know, I remember it pretty clearly. How then do they come here, if not by death?"
